Efforts to evacuate civilians through humanitarian corridors continue
Ukraine has announced that it intends to open today up to 10 humanitarian corridors to evacuate civilians, but Mariupol residents who want to leave the besieged port city in the south of the country will have to use private vehicles.
The 10 planned safe corridors, announced by Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister Irina Verestsuk, are all located in southern and eastern Ukraine.
